Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRoman Secret arrives here with a progressive profile that sets him apart from most of this thirteen-runner field, and his clock-backed form gives confidence that the bare ratings slightly understate his current level. Little Tiger heads the ratings by a handful of pounds and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Warrnambool and Chico Dulce also pose genuine threats in what is a competitive Class 6 contest over ten furlongs on the Lingfield Polytrack. A fitness edge over some of these rivals tips the balance, though this is a race where the margin for error is slim. **Selection: Roman Secret**
Racing Post pick: Roman Secret
